The Secret to Answered Prayer (4 of 7)

Luke 11:5-13
You know, I was thinking about the last one hundred years. Arguably, one of the greatest inventions ever invented, ever come up with was the television. The television is an amazing thing. And it really just came into being in about the last one hundred years or so, and it really only became popular at least in America, in the late 40s and in the early 50s where people started buying television sets.

And the TV has to be on a certain channel for the cable to work. And now I've got snow. And what do I do? And Debbie would do that periodically. It's like, "What did you do to the TV?"
